LIKE WE SAID YESTERDAY, the 8K9A2+ mobo has an unlocked multiplayer for all Thoroughbred CPUs. As we got a precious 2700+ from AMD we decided to give it a try and to see whether this processor actually works with using a front side bus speed of 400MHz. Of course, it was impossible to have this CPU working at 200 x 13.5 since this core already meets its limitations with 2800+ but we were able to run at a 10 x 200 MHZ FSB producing 2000 MHz from this CPU.

Windows XP recognised this processor as an Athlon 2400+ but in memory related benchmarks, we got a 600 MB/s increase outscoring even Dual Xeon chipset. We were able to get more than 3000 MB/s with 200 MHZ FSB with obvious benefits.

So whenever AMD introduce its new parts running at 400 MHz both VIA and Nvidia will be ready. As we learned before, Barton 400 MHz FSB CPUs could easily be introduced with FSB 400 sooner or later, and you can expect a 15 to 20 per cent increase in performance giving the AMD CPU one last big kick to compete with a Hyperthreading P4 at 3.06 GHz. The boards are ready, we reckon it's all about AMD now

The DPS specifications are expected to be adopted on mobile handsets' digital cameras in the near future, and ultimately storage vendors will be able to develop DPS-compliant products, they said.

DPS, originally developed by Canon, HP, Seiko Epson, and Sony, is written for USB connections with Picture Transfer Protocol as data transfer protocol, they said.

The standard has been designed for scalability and simplicity, using the same interface for all cameras. After a USB cable is connected between a camera and a printer, the user chooses an image on the camera's LCD monitor. By simply pressing a button on the camera, a printer responds and prints out the image. Advanced functions contained in higher-end cameras can be operated by an extended user interface, Sakurada said.

so what ? you've been able to do this for almost a year now. I'm waiting for barton and the 512 k cache. It's AMD's northwood basically. It had better scale....

Unlocked multiplier? Without having to close the L1 bridges? Nice.. although I only have a XP 2200+, it would per chance have an unlocked multiplier, would it, hmm?

My CPU has an unlocked multiplier too by default... Athlon XP 2400+ TBred on Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra...
